_______________________________________________________
Details:
When we are using wget v1.11.4 obtained from here:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
it follows HTTP redirects correctly.
For example:
wget http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam/
should result in getting the most current .exe file
instead version 1.16.x (or anything v1.13 or newer) saves an index.html
My point is that it should NOT be downloading and saving an index.html, it
should have followed the redirect and downloaded
http://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mbam-setup-2.1.8.1057.exe
saving mbam-setup-2.1.8.1057.exe
Please fix.
NOTE: wget v1.11.4 was working perfectly fine except it couldn't handle the
encrypted connections of some servers, like:
wget https://www.glasswire.com/download/GlassWireSetup.exe
